Popular Post GolfSpy MPR Posted February 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2020 Huge Forum News: We're 10!!!! As we were working on a recent project for the forums, we started poking around in the archives and stumbled on a really cool truth: the forum launched 10 years ago! There are some initial test posts from January and February, but forum kicked off in a big way at the end of February/beginning of March 2010. So we started compiling some of the history of the forum, including talking with some of our longtime forum legends. We pieced the story together and today, it's featured on the MyGolfSpy blog: https://mygolfspy.com/the-mygolfspy-community-forum-celebrates-10-years-of-golf-talk/ In conjunction with the 10th Anniversary Celebration, we've just launched a dedicated Twitter account for the Forum Community: https://twitter.com/ForumMyGolfSpy. If you're a SM user, go give us a follow. And go read the story and keep an eye on the forum in the next few days: we have some celebrating to do, and you're not going to want to miss it!

Popular Post null Posted February 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2020 Very cool to see how much this forum has changed. I hope the forum continues to evolve into a place where people share ideas but also learn from one another. There's so much bad/outdated information in the golf equipment world and it's important that everyone can learn and grow together GolfSpy BOS, GolfSpy Barbajo, daviddvm and 13 others 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Golfspy_CG2 Posted February 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2020 I was thrilled to find this forum about 4 years ago and even more thrilled when selected to be part of the Moderation team 2 years ago. It's been great reading about some of the early history of the forum and the above piece posted on the home page is a fantastic read, do yourself a favor and don't skip it. I'll be fortunate to get to play a round of golf with two of those legendary early members RevKev and Foz and I'm sure it'll be a great time.

Popular Post cnosil Posted February 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2020 Have been on forums for a long time; officially been on here since Jan 2012 but didn’t post. Once I learned that MGS was local to me I got more involved and really enjoyed the vibe the forum gave off. While I read and occasionally comment on other forums, this is where I post. Love the insight and banter that goes on here and the opportunity to learn from others on the forum. Have had the privilege of meeting a few members during a DMV get together a couple of years ago and hope that one day I can meet some of the other people that make this place special and helped get it to year 10. daviddvm, Kenny B, edingc and 9 others 10 2 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: Sacks Parente MC 3 Stripe Backup Putters: Milled Collection RSX 2, mFGP2, Futura 5W, TM-180 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JohnSmalls Posted February 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 28, 2020 I came here almost 3 years ago having just started playing golf. I was really hesitant because I didn't know a thing about golf other than what old Tiger Woods PGA Tour video games taught me and some choice words that I can't repeat that my own golf game reinforced. After posting an intro thread and even starting up some old topics that have been discussed ad nauseam, you guys never ragged me, instead it was all encouragement. Now I spend too much time here, and I can't wait to talk to you. So even though I haven't been here long, I plan on being here for the next decade. Thank you guys for making this place what it is!
